My beautiful Mam passed away 10 days ago after a 10+ year struggle with vascular dementia. She didn't suffer at the end, simply closed her eyes and over 5 days slipped away. My Dad and two brothers and I were by her side as she passed.
I am heartbroken, but know that she had been through some terrible times with her illness, and after breaking her hip last April, had no quality of life. So I am plodding on, getting by. The funeral is on Thursday, ordered the flowers today, sad, but no tears. But today, when my Dad phoned after visiting her care home today and told me there was someone new in her room now, I was in bits. Ridiculous I know, they can't keep it empty. But I really didn't think it would hurt this much
